February Scholarships Students Will Love

February Scholarships to LOVE LOVE LOVE

♥ Love is in the air, and students who are looking for college money will LOVE these February scholarships! ♥

Remember, it’s not IF students apply, but HOW they apply that truly makes a difference.

Parents who partner with their students and work together in the scholarship process using my SMART strategies will have a much higher chance of winning more money for school.

This mom says it best,

“Using tips from the ebooks, How to Win College Scholarships: Guides for Parents and Students in 10 Easy Steps, my high school senior secured scholarships to cover tuition, books, and fees her first year in college. How exciting! No extra outlay of money for either she or I…her very important freshman year in college…allows her to focus completely on her studies. Staying organized listed as step #1 in the ebooks was essential. Completing all the lines and thinking of presentation as if she were acing a job interview helped immensely.

Thank you, Monica, for putting together these thorough, inspirational, and amusing ebooks. They are masterpieces and truly work! To my fellow parents, if we can do it, so can you!!!” T.R., Kentucky
